Surely theres no such thing as a 40-60mm spring? it will either drop it by 40mm or 60..
Or do i have the wrong end of the stick??

Some times you can get kits that lower the front or rear more. E.g. 60mm front and 40 mm rear.

Welcome to the site mate and fair play for getting the rust sorted before it gets any worse
Bilt hamber do some amazing rust removal/anti rust products so might be worth checking their website out
